Clutch replacements are easy.. and if you've got an 05, there is NOOO way you should need a clutch by now, unless you have NO clue how to ride..

I rode my 04 WAAAAYYYYYY hard doing cluth up 4th!!! gear wheelies and drag launch's and that clutch was as good as the day i first got the bike (with 1 tenth of a mile on it)..

but if you have any mechanical knowledge you can do a clutch install.. If you don't, don't waste your time you'll screw something up...

But here's a run down on one for you.

Remove right side mid and lower plastics.

Disconnect Clutch cable from clutch lever (at the case end).

Remove the case Bolts, and LIGHTLY tap with a SOFT rubber mallet, until the case pops free.

Disconnect the Ignition Rotor pickup wires.

Slowly Remove the 5 or 6 (i forget the correct number) of bolts from the clutch basket evenly (IE 1 turn each bolt in a cross-criss pattern, like the lug nuts on a tire).

Remove all the clutch plates and friction plates. If you want a like new clutch, go ahead and replace all of the friction and clutch plates (make sure to soak the new friction plates in NEW motor oil for atleast a few hours before install).

Reinstall everything in the reverse order (making sure to torque to pressure plate bolts down to the correct torque (these are the ones with the SPRINGS on them)).

Clean the gasket surface on the engine AND case cover w/ a scotch brite pad, them spray clean with some brake cleaner.

Apply a 1/16"-1/8" bead of Silicon rubber on the case cover and reinstall the case cover to the engine making sure to torque the case cover bolts to the correct torque and sequence (if you don't know the correct sequence, a criss cross pattern normally works well).

Re-attach the clutch cable, adjust the play as per the owners manual.

Change the OIL and filter (this is a pre-cautionary measure, as it gets all of the old metal particals and any of the "crap" that might have fallen in the oil pan out before you start it up with a new clutch).

Go test ride the thing.

Re-install the plastics and your done.

And NO i did not do this to my R6 previously mentioned. I did it to my f4i Stunt bike.

It should take roughly an hour for someone w/ alot of mech. experience, and probly 2 or 3 for someone with none.

NOW

Please PM me for my paypal address, as that how-to just cost you all $50. :LOL j/k

Looking for a how to install a remote garage door opener to my highbeam... the radio shack way... going and buying the parts and riggin' it up

thanks

rebound and compression one done... if you need a howto on replacing your rearsets you should probably find a new site... its only 2 allen bolts and 1 that holds the shifter... and use 2 wrenches to under the shifter rod from the shifter and the other side is similar... no howto needed for stupid things
